SDXC card compatibility with Debian Lenny and beyond
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

I expect to buy next Tuesday a Canon 60D body which can use SD, SDHC and
SDXC recording media. SDXC cards are considerably more expensive than
the other two, in part I suppose because they use the Microsoft exFAT
file system; so royalties must be paid.
Besides the cost, I am concerned whether SDXC cards can be read by Lenny
and successors on my PC and Lenovo laptop. Apparently a special driver
is needed to do so.
In view of the foregoing I wonder whether I am better using the SDHC
cards instead, because their unit cost ($ per mB) are lower than the
SDXC unit cost, and because they do not use a proprietary file system
still with patent protection.
Has anyone had any experience with SDHC and SDXC cards in digital
cameras to share?
